Our kid is a teenager and she is absolutely independent and assertive these nights, and all teenage women go through a phase like this at some point in their lives, so I’m not surprised, and i just take her attitude morning by morning and try to keep things as normal as possible, however recently, she’s been complaining about the temperature of her room, however every morning when I ask her how she’s slept, she tells me that she didn’t sleep at all because it was too hot, then she sleeps in the dwelling up on the second floor, so I’m not surprised by her comments; However, she begged us to have her own room and this was the only space in the home that allowed it, before she moved all her things up into the loft, my pal and I told her that it would be warmer up there because the heat from the lower level would naturally rise, however my superb friend and I only have one Heating & A/C zone in our house, so there would be no way to heat or cool the upstairs evenly with the rest of the house.
Still, she insisted on getting her own room. As a person myself, I understand the need for her own space and I felt terrible about her being too hot at night however I did warn her, and this is why, for the holidays, I’ve decided to get her a ductless mini split system. It will be installed by an Heating & A/C professional and give the dwelling with heat and air. There will be a small remote to control the temperature and it will keep our kid comfortable without affecting the Heating & A/C system.
